Snapper Model 30113S Repair/Rebuild

A little teaser...It wont match the patina of everything else...but hey...I'll be looking good! ha...:laughing:

Not had a lot of time to work on it, but I do have some parts in, and hope to have it running today! Cleaned the incredibly gunked up carb. The bowl and float were almost completely gelled together. Forgot to get pics of that...

You get the original running? What year is it?

Yes and no I have not figured out the exact year yet...it should run today...seriously doubt the original engine is bad. Sorry for delay in response...

It runs!

Sorry, could not rotate the vid...but it shows the engine dying when the throttle is barely moved off choke.

I'm having an issue with the carb though. It runs on choke, but boggs down if you move it the slightest off choke. Need to find info on carb so I can adjust it if needed. Also want to find a schematic of carb linkage to see if everything is hooked up correctly. I have not messed with anything, but who knows who has touched this before.

Any help in this area appreciated... thanks.

Since you have tha Model # The Snapper web site has PDF files of the owners manuals and parts drawings. And they have a support number where I have found they will email you PDF files --
Customer Relations Center Technical Support Team at 1(800)935-2967
The model and serial # should be on the frame tube and the engine # should be samped in the sheet metal or on the muffler shroud.
I don't own Snappers myself, but have been working on two that bleong to an 85 year old neighbor -

Good Luck -- What you have done so far looks GREAT ! :thumbsup:

ugh...up with the baby...anyway...

Here is a schematic of the linkage I have, and everything is hooked up correctly. I guess I have some other issue as it runs on choke, but move the throttle lever just the slightest and it bogs down.

My set up is FIG. 107, though my throttle cable comes from the bottom.

Start with the screw on the bottom of the bowl. Fire the engine up and back it out slowly. You should notice a difference right away. I'm thinking it is screwed it too far and is restricting the flow of gas into the engine, and why you have to run it with the choke on.

mullins87 this was my exact problem. I had not touched the screw on the bottom of the bowl as I figured this would have hardly been touched in the past. Anyways, backed it out about 1.5 to 2 turns. ran great at full throttle. I did have to adjust the idle screw on top but no big deal.

It really runs great now. I just pushed the yard yesterday, but went ahead and did it again today on the rider. :confused2: :laughing:

I'll be finishing up my routine maintenance, etc. in a few days. So I'll use it for the remainder of the season and then get back on the paint and appearance over next winter.

Love it...
